Definitely not Donald Trump in a wig, that's for sure.
It is astounding to me that mathematics — of all school subjects — elicits such potent emotional reaction when “reform” is in the air…

Transforming scholarly publications into living digital works
Cloudron the best platform for running web apps.
Microformats are a simple way to add more meaning to your HTML.
I’ve written quite a bit about blogging, and my creation of open education resources over the past on this website. A lot has changed in my blogging habits, and general digital identity construction since those posts. Most of the response that I get from colleagues, students, and tenure committees is “why in the world would you share that stuff openly online?” As such, I’ve been meaning to write up a post documenting my thinking about why I do…what I do.
As an academic, I need to regularly have empirical research publications in top-tier, peer-reviewed journals. Nothing else matters. Many senior colleagues bemoan the fact that I need to play double duty…yet the system still exists.
And why can’t your own blog count as a top-tier, peer-reviewed journal?
and serve as pre-prints to work that may live later on, or always exist in their current format
Thinking of a personal site as a pre-print server is an interesting concept and somewhat similar to the idea of a commonplace book.
This week, we tackle what webmentions are, using them for backfeed, and the privacy implications....
This year, we’re asking for speaker applications that focus on Taking Back The Open Web. But what does this really mean?
One thought is that the Open Web is inclusive and encourages fair distribution of ideas with no barrier to entry. It exists in opposition to proprietary systems created by companies for the purposes of lock-in, control of user experience, or requiring payment for entry. In 2010, the New York Times pointed out ways in which these platforms trade fair access to ideas for a better-looking web.
It’s 2018 now, and we’ve seen the impact of opaque, tightly-controlled systems. In “Can We Save the Open Web”, Drupal founder Dries Buytaert asks:
Do we want the experiences of the next billion web users to be defined by open values of transparency and choice, or by the siloed and opaque convenience of the walled-garden giants dominating today?
Most promising to me is that this WordCamp actively, purposely, and contemporaneously quoted Drupal founder Dries Buytaert in their announcement right after he began contemplating POSSE vs. PESOS and other IndieWeb philosophies.
Alex Vasquez (Digisavvy: A Digital Marketing & WordPress Agency)Development & business workflows are deeply personal opinions we all have when it comes to creating with WordPress. Over the years I’ve become more and more opinionated as I continue creating sites for clients. I’d like to share my current setup in the hopes that...
Alex has some great stuff here, though I wish there were even more links!
As an aside, it’s interesting to take a look back at the original blogpost announcing the release of WordPress and see which commenters are still online and which pingbacks still resolve without linkrot. Photomatt’s first comment still resolves while many others don’t.
Roseanne Barr said she was not an “apologist” for Mr. Trump but wanted the reboot of her sitcom to address the strong divide in the country.

Ms. Barr cited “The Planet of the Apes” in discussing Valerie Jarrett, a black woman and former adviser to President Barack Obama. ABC Entertainment’s president called it “abhorrent.”
Pasadena has 25 parks and great natural open spaces. Since we published our “10 Cool Parks in Pasadena” back in 2015, it has gotten a lot of attention and recommendations. We took all that into consideration when we decided to update the list. Just in time for the summer (and any time of the year really), here’s the twelve of the coolest parks in Pasadena and surrounding areas.
